No. 10th place asking price may exceed the annual salary of some people. In order to drink these whiskeys, you really can't drink them without a bank...
whiskey is usually quite reasonable, especially Taiwan's whiskey price can be said to be one of the best in the world. But today the price of these wines is amazing as soon as they are launched! If you don’t have thick bank, you really can’t afford it, let alone drink it... Let’s take a look! (The price here is the price of the latest batch when it was first launched. Many of them rose as soon as they were launched...)

26,500 pounds (about NT$1.06 million)
This wine, which has been aged in the barrel for 50 years, was put into oak barrel in 1963.
